About Bill Krueger

I am from the Florida, USA. I live most the year in Panama. My wife is a nurse and my son is 17. We like anything outdoors or ends with '-ing'. Diving, biking, riding(horses, moto), surfing, boating, and etc.

Bill Krueger purchased this villa in 2011

Why Bill Krueger chose Bocas del Toro Province

I built this building. It took 4 years to finish because I was so picky and demanded only the best materials. I am also the owner of the development (Burn Brae Plantation). The property is 50 acres and very diverse. Great to explore.

What makes this villa unique

I love Bocas for it's great location in the world. Nice warm and clear waters. Great breezes most of the year. Five minutes from either town to the South or the big beaches to the North. Or a short walk down to a small beach in the bay. Wildlife just out your window. Great way to wake up.

Master bedroom with one king-sized bed and a full private bath with shower and double sink. Large walk-in closet with safe. Second bedroom with 2 queen size beds and a full private bath with a large tub/shower and a single sink. Walk-in closet. Third bedroom with 1 queen size bed and a full private bath with shower and a single sink. *Optional 4th bedroom with 1 queen size bed and a full private bath with shower and a single sink. Pull out sleeper/sofa (queen size) in living room. Requires an extra fee unless you book 12 people.

The house is beautiful and kept to high standards!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean with wonderful amenities. The area is tranquil and beautiful. The owner was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The property is a short taxi ride to town, and you can either call a taxi for pick up or hail one a little further down the road. Transportation is not an issue. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Nice Place Good Location

Enjoyed our stay here. Nice modern , well equipped home. My only complaint was having to pay extra for the extra room. For the price paid, it should have been included.

Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed our rental and appreciated the out of town location. The "extra private/separate room" is explained in our information. We will update the information to insure others will not confuse the rental as a 4 bedroom. Only optional. We chose this way to be more cost effective for smaller groups.
Thanks again for the rent. You were great guests.

We almost became surfer wannabes here!

We were a group of 3 couples (2 living in Canada) in our early 50s, meeting up for our annual week of winter escape and this house suited our needs well. Though not on the water, there are distant views from the balcony of the tropical Caribbean water. The beds were super comfy and each bedroom has it's own spacious ensuite bathrooms. Kitchen is huge and modern. This place was built with high quality everything, appliances, fixtures, furniture and beds even! The gardens are pretty too. There is a full on water slide you can rent (we didn't but if you had teens or kids they might LOVE it!) I thought we might miss having a pool, but in all honesty we spent all our time at beaches that when we arrived home in the evening we welcomed being inside in the A/C with a cold beer and wifi!!! We rented the 2 golf carts which allowed us to do things (go to beaches, to the water taxi, to shop or eat) on our own timeline. We'd go into town for dinner each evening (there are some good places to eat- we all LOVED the Indian restaurant "Om" and La Casba.) Also we recommend taking a boat to the various islands. Make sure to include Isla Zapatillos. We were well-above the average age bracket of the 'surfer and backpacker" crowd, but still had a great time exploring the area for 4 days. Take a water taxi across to the nearby island to learn to surf and be sure to go to Bibi's for drinks and lunch and Happy Hour. We actually liked being a bit of a distance from Bocas town. It was REALLY relaxing being away from the crowds during the Carnaval holiday. If you turn left coming out of the gates of the estate, you will drive through an amazing jungle rainforest. Also try Scully's place on the beach (by the pizza place). We didn't care for Drago beach- too many people, dirtier feeling sand and more trash all strewn about.

Tanned and thankful

I am delighted to write this review as I was very happy with my stay. The home was beautiful and clean. The check in process was seamless. Leny, who checked us in, was very helpful and provided us with valuable information. She connected us with taxi info to get us back and forth into town. She also provided us with her phone number in the event that we needed additional information. The home was well known to the drivers due to the large water slide at the home, which made it easy to return to the house. The grounds keeper, Castillo, was friendly and as well. The grounds is very well kept and has many exotic flowers, which was a delight to this photographer. The house was conveniently located close to town, which made for a very short commute. the home also provided opportunity for relaxation. we had breakfast on the out door porch, which was a delight with the great weather. there was also a great view of the bay from that area as well. The owner Bill, was accessible and returned texts or emails promptly. We also communicated frequently before arriving to the home. The checkout process was also seamless. we called Leny, and she was there promptly with our damage deposit. I would highly recommend this property, as it is very beautiful and provided great opportunities for relaxation. You will not be disappointed with your stay. If the opportunity presents itself for another visit to Panama, I would definitely want to stay at this home.

Thank you.

Owner's Response: Glad to hear you enjoyed our home! We try to make it better with every rental. Hope to see ya next year.

Well maintained, had everything we needed.

Loved staying in Bocas Del Toro. Nice to have Xbox for kids in evening. Great to use golf carts to get around! Saw plastic bottle village, playa Drago, Playa Bluff, and Paki point in less than 48 hrs. The water slide was so much fun!

Very nice property in Bocas - totally recommended

We had a great time in this property. We used all the rooms available to accommodate a large group and the house was impecable. Super clean kitchen with all the necessities and more. The rooms in the second level house were beautiful and the bathrooms as well. Great living room space, too bad that the cable tv did not work. Bill apologised many times for this and it was simply bad luck. The housekeeper forgot our arrival date and the rooms were not cleaned when we arrived but she worked until late at night to fix and clean everything for us. She was super nice as well. Great house if you are looking for a location outside town with great accessibility. Nice balcony and dining table and decent rooms on the ground floor. Would totally recommend and come back as soon as i can!
